More quotes by Neil deGrasse Tyson
I can tell you about the universe, but she feels it and when you feel the universe, it has a whole other meaning to you. Otherwise, you just put a Wiki page on camera. You can learn something, but it won't mean anything to you later on.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
You like to explore things, and your parents don't like it because it gets the pots and pans dirty, and because it's noisy - but for you it's fun, you're resting. You're actually doing experiments... Just tell your parents that they're experiments, and you want to become a scientist, and then they won't stop you from doing anything you want.
Neil deGrasse Tyson

We in astrophysics we think of the universe all the time. So to us, Earth is just another planet. From a distance, it's a speck. And I'm convinced that if everyone had a cosmic perspective you wouldn't have legions of armies waging war on other people because someone would say, Stop, look at the universe.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
The universe is so amazing and so limitless, who wouldn't want to study the universe?
Neil deGrasse Tyson

Neil deGrasse Tyson

Neil deGrasse Tyson
If there's a Devil, that mean's there's a God.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Science is not just a topic we can step around or ignore.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
It's quite literally true that we are star dust, in the highest exalted way one can use that phrase. ...I bask in the majesty of the cosmos. I use words, compose sentences that sound like the sentences I hear out of people that had revelation of Jesus, who go on their pilgrimages to Mecca.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Unlike what you may be told in other sectors of life, when observing the universe, size does matter, which often leads to polite ‘telescope envy’ at gatherings of amateur astronomers.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
My goal is not to shove information into your head. It's to find ways to reignite the curiosity that we all had as children for the natural world. You don't have to tell a child to explore the backyard.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Ever since there have been people, there have been explorers, looking in places where other hadn't been before. Not everyone does it, but we are part of a species where some members of the species do, to the benefit of us all.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
If you want a nation to have space exploration ambitions, you've got to send humans.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
Science is a philosophy of discovery. Intelligent design is a philosophy of ignorance. You cannot build a program of discovery on the assumption that nobody is smart enough to figure out the answer to a problem.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
I'd rather enjoy the money, and then be buried, offering my body back to the flora and fauna of which I have dined my whole life.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
